• Carrying device for carrying an electronic device, preferably an electronic display unit
• the invention relates to a carrying device, in particular a shelf rail, for carrying an electronic device, preferably an electronic display unit, the carrying device having boundary walls for delimiting a receiving area for receiving the electronic device.
• WO 2017/153481 A1 discloses a carrying device in the form of a shelf rail, which is designed as an electronic display unit for the mechanical attachment of an electronic device.
• the shelf rail delimits an accommodating area for accommodating the display unit with three side walls arranged in a U-shape.
• the recording area is limited here on three sides and the display unit can be inserted into or removed from the shelf rail via the left-over side of the U-shape.
• a first, central side wall is formed by a plate.
• This plate serves as a reference or positioning level on which the display unit can be positioned with its rear wall on the shelf rail.
• the plate has passages arranged in a grid. These passages are used for contacting electrical conductor tracks through contact pins of the display unit in order to supply the display unit with electricity.
• the conductor tracks are arranged on a line carrier which is positioned on that side of the first side wall which is remote from the receiving area. Viewed in the longitudinal direction of the shelf rail, the first side wall is delimited by a second, upper side wall and a third, lower side wall.
• the lower side wall has a fastening edge which runs in the longitudinal direction of the shelf rail and which can be gripped by a fastening groove of the display device.
• the upper side wall has hole-like recesses arranged in a grid in the longitudinal direction of the shelf rail, into which a retractable and extendable fastening pin of the display device can snap, whereby the position of the display device along the shelf rail can be fixed.
• This shelf rail has proven itself excellently in operation because it allows precise positioning of the display device along the shelf rail according to the grid of the hole-like recesses and unintentional displacement due to the second and third side walls in combination with the extended pin engaged in the upper side wall. Even unintentional or willful removal of the display unit from the shelf rail without the application of destructive force is largely impossible.
• the care of the shelf rail has proven to be problematic because dirt can accumulate in the channel formed by the lower side wall between the central panel and the fastening edge, as well as in the openings of the central panel to the cable tracks. On the one hand, this contamination has a negative impact on the visual appearance of the shelf rails. On the other hand, they can also impair the electrical supply of the display unit and thus its functional reliability.
• the object of the invention is therefore to provide an improved carrying device and a correspondingly adapted electronic device so that the problems discussed are avoided.
• the object of the invention is therefore a carrying device, preferably implemented as a shelf rail, for mechanical attachment an electronic device, particularly preferably for fastening an electronic display unit, the carrying device having a first boundary wall, in particular a reference wall defining a reference or positioning plane, on or adjacent to which the electronic device, in particular with its rear wall, on of the carrying device, and a second boundary wall oriented at an angle to the first boundary wall, the first boundary wall and the second boundary wall delimiting, in particular only on two sides, a receiving area for accommodating the electronic device, and a cable carrier, the conductor tracks for the electronic supply of the device, characterized in that the line carrier protrudes into the receiving area at a distance from the first boundary wall, starting from the second boundary wall, in particular parallel to the first boundary wall.

• the orientation of the line carrier in relation to the first boundary wall is parallel to the latter.
• the line carrier can also be oriented in such a way that, starting from the second boundary wall, its distance from the first boundary wall increases continuously.
• the line carrier is then oriented slightly obliquely forward in the direction of the open sides (that is to say not delimited by the boundary walls) of the receiving area.
• the orientation of the line carrier groove in relation to the rear wall of the electronic device can also be adjusted accordingly, so that the electronic device can be inserted into the receiving area by sliding along the line carrier towards the first boundary wall.

• Such a button allows easy operation and quick removal of the electronic devices. This is accompanied by quick and easy maintenance or toleration of the devices. The removal is possible here in particular without special tools.
• operating the button can cause the attachment hooks or lugs to fold into the electronic device, move in the direction of insertion, or both. In all cases, the actuation of the button and the associated movement of the attachment hooks or lugs results in the electronic device being able to be removed from the carrying device.

• the fastening hooks or lugs pivot back into their rest position due to the elasticity of the housing material and/or the elasticity of the fastening hook or fastening lug material and/or a correspondingly acting spring.
• attachment hooks or lugs and the control extensions can have beveled ends, so that their ends can in fact accompany each other along an inclined plane, exerting forces on each other that lead to the movement of the attachment hooks or - noses.

• the non-actuated state means that state in which the electronic device is seated in the carrying device according to the invention, ie is not being taken in or out.
• the unactuated state means that the button is not pressed.
• This fastening mechanism spring element not only ensures easy operation, but also ensures that in order to remove the device from the carrying device, there must be a targeted force on the button that is strong enough to overcome the spring force, possibly plus a friction force component . This prevents the device from being unintentionally released from the carrying device, e.g. by exerting lateral force on the housing, i.e. not on the button.
• the carrying device is designed in such a way that with respect to that side of the first boundary wall which is oriented towards the receiving area, there is an acute angle between the first boundary wall (or the reference wall or the reference side) and the second boundary wall, in particular a Angle in a range of 35 ° to 85 °, is formed.

• the second boundary wall has an edge region which, when used as intended, supports that edge of the electronic device which is closest to the second boundary wall in the inserted state, towards the front.
• “forwards” means the direction from the first boundary wall to the electronic device.
• the edge area therefore grasps the electronic device at a front edge of the housing and keeps it protected there below the second boundary wall.
• the acute angle makes it possible to grasp the extreme upper edge of the device and to brace the device held there against the first boundary wall under the action of the attachment hooks or lugs.
• the edge area that overlaps the device has a protective effect against objects that are placed on the shelf or pushed in or removed via the front edge of the shelf.
• the angle and the dimensions of the second boundary wall are therefore preferably selected or matched to one another such that the electronic device can be securely contacted on or near its front wall with the edge area of the carrying device and can thus be held in position.

• the structures run in a straight line and extend on the one hand at right angles with respect to the longitudinal extent of the carrying device and on the other hand at right angles with respect to the course of the line carrier groove.
• the length of the structures defines that position along the insertion movement from which the target orientation is established. Since the conductor tracks extend along the conductor carrier, it has proven to be particularly advantageous for the length of the structures to be based on the dimensions of the conductor carrier, measured along the direction normal to the longitudinal extent of the conductor carrier and parallel to the plane of the first boundary wall. This should be provided as a minimum in order to establish the desired orientation as soon as the electronic device approaches the line carrier or only when the electronic device touches the line carrier for the first time.
• the width of the structures preferably essentially corresponds to the grid dimension of the recesses along the longitudinal extension of the carrying device.
• the recesses and the intermediate material webs of the carrying device have identical widths that correspond exactly to the grid dimension, resulting in a periodic sequence of recesses and material webs along the longitudinal extent of the carrying device.
• the carrying device can therefore be designed to be more compact overall, so that it has a smaller field of vision in front of the products or covers the shelf.
